These instructions replace the original instructions on pages 30-33 from the second item #18 through item #33. The original instructions posed a overflow problem for some customers, and these instructions have made it less likely of overflowing from the boiler.

19. Empty and thoroughly wash and rinse the water reservoir, fill it with the water you normally use in the machine, and replace the hose with the particle filter in the end back into the reservoir (if used, do not replace the water softener yet).
20. Place the bypass hose in a suitable container. Removing this hose from the reservoir will keep the water in the reservoir free from the de-scaler which is still in the pressure relief system.
21. With the autofill wire still disconnected, place a suitable container under the steam wand and open the steam valve. Turn the power switch to position “I” only. The autofill is defeated and so the machine will pump a stream of water through the steam wand. Continue pumping until the water is clean and is free of descaling agent. Close the valve and set the Power Switch to Position 0. Remember to check the reservoir level during this process.
22. Once again, place a suitable vessel under the hot water tap, open the hot water tap and turn the Power Switch to Position I. Allow a stream of water to come from the steam wand until the water is clean and is free of descaling agent. Close the valve and set the Power Switch to Position 0.
23. Repeat steps 18 through 24 until the water you drain is tasteless (totally free from the taste of the cleaner). This might take as many as three or more rinses.
    
    CAUTION: Most proper de-scaling agents are a form of citric acid which is food grade, and in highly diluted form is safe to consume. Sample only a very small amount (one drop on a clean fingertip) to be safe. Thoroughly wash your hands in hot, soapy water before and after doing this test
    
    
24. When the drain water is clean and free from the acidic taste of the cleaner, turn the power switch to “0” and unplug the machine.
25. Remove the reservoir and the reservoir platform, remove the two screws holding the divider panel, tip the panel back, and replace the autofill sensor wire on the boiler.
    
    CAUTION: Failure to replace the autofill wire will cause your Vibiemme Domobar to behave erratically and can cause damage to the machine not covered by the warranty.
    
    
26. Move the internal partition panel back into place and fasten with the two upper Phillips head screws.
27. Tip the machine onto its back and install the two small Phillips head screws in the bottom that hold the internal partition.
28. Place the machine upright and replace the outer cover and fasten the 6 Phillips head screws that hold it in place. Take care not to pinch the two hoses that go into the water reservoir. Replace the water reservoir platform and the water reservoir filled with water. Rinse and wipe the intake hose. The intake hose goes back into the water reservoir, HOWEVER, the overflow hose still needs to go into a different receptacle as the next process is to clear the OPV and grouphead of descaling solution.
29. Place a container under the grouphead, turn the power switch to Position I for 5 seconds, and then Position II and turn on the brew cycle for fifteen seconds or more to flush out the grouphead and thermosyphon pipes. Turn off the brew cycle.
30. Lock the Portafilter with the blind filter basket in place on the grouphead. Turn on the brew cycle ten seconds after the brew pressure gauge reaches about 8 BAR or more to flush the over pressure relief valve. Turn off the brew cycle. Allow machine to continue heating with the power switch in Position II.
31. Remove, rinse, and replace the blind portafilter. Turn the brew cycle on and off a few times as when you are backflushing to clear the rest of the grouphead. Turn the brew cycle off. Allow machine to continue heating with the power switch in Position II.
32. Reinstall the water softener if so equipped in the water reservoir, rinse/wipe the OPV return hose clean and replace it in their proper location in the reservoir. Refill the water reservoir with the water normally used in the machine. If you found heavy deposits of minerals were removed from the machine during the de-scaling process, think seriously about using a different source for your water or a different treatment of the water. Also check the hardness of your water at more frequent intervals.
33. After the machine has fully warmed up (boiler pressure reading between .8 and 1.3, place a suitable container under the hot water wand and open the hot water valve. HOT WATER WILL EXIT THE HOW WATER WAND. When the pump begins to operate signifying that water has been lowered to about the correct level, close the hot water tap. The pump should stop shortly after closing the tap.
34. Save a few ounces of water and when it cools, taste it. If the water tastes like the acid used in the cleaning agent, repeat the flush process until the water is free from the acidic taste of the descale solution.
    
    WARNING: Do not leave the machine unattended until the proper water level in the boiler has been verified!
    
    
35. Bleed steam off the boiler to assure that the water level is correct. If a lot of water comes out then the water level is too high. Repeat Step 32. If this problem continues, consult your retailer/reseller.
